that is wrong, bot
I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is raw materials from the environment that cannot be renewed within 100 years. Natural resources are materials or substances found in nature that are utilized by organisms or utilized by humans for economic purposes.
that is also wrong bot
I apologize for any confusion caused. The correct definition of natural resources is raw materials from the environment that are available for organisms to use. Natural resources can include renewable resources that can be replenished within a relatively short period of time, as well as non-renewable resources that cannot be easily replaced. Thank you for pointing out the error.
